The L&B used only coal-fired steam motive power. In 1896, the Hunslet & Company submitted two designs (a 2-4-2T and 4-4-0T), but eventually an order was placed for three 2-6-2T from Manning Wardle & Co of Leeds. The locos were named after local rivers: Yeo Exe, and Taw. Yeo & Taw were used in the final stages of construction. Exe was stored locally in a stable, where she received the unwelcome attention of thieves who stole various brass fittings and fixtures.
